Hi all,
Been a bit lazy on the recording side, lately, but I have been adding more lyrics the my ‘titles’ list.  I briefly tried to record, ‘In The Doghouse’, but never got very far.  But, as from today I have some spare time.  I am on holiday from the 18th March, but going away on the 14th March.  I will endeavour to record a complete song before I go away.   There are various options as to which song I choose, as I have a quite a few recordings that only need vocally accompaniment to be added.  So, watch this space and my SoundCloud and soon a new song will be uploaded.
Thanks,

The Lost Connection

Hi all.  I thought I’d mention this particular song as it is one of my old favourites, but doesn’t seem to capturing many people’s interest.  Check it out and if it still gets no likes or listens I’ll assume it is just a personal taste thing.  Thanks.

Hello all,

This week there suddenly seems to be a big increase in the amount of listens to my songs.  Always good to see, just hope they are being enjoyed, but still plenty of room for improvement.  Meanwhile, must find some time to record another song this week…  Any suggestions?  Usually work on one each Saturday but bumped into a friend from the past and been somewhat sidetracked…

Bye for now.

I will be recording either ‘The Lonely Romantic Man’ or ‘The Lost & Found’ (although that was meant for the duo, ‘The Lost & Found’).  I hope all of you, who are listening to these songs, are enjoying them despite the minor defects that occur through fast in-home production and untrained vocal accompaniments.  Eventually, I will iron out all imperfections and make them all a very pleasurable listen.

And later that day….  https://soundcloud.com/thelostconnection/the-lonely-romantic-man-song-311-1st-version-short    Result!

Right, just written this set of lyrics to accompany the instrumental I uploaded 4 years ago.  The music was written  for somebody else and, as he didn’t use the music for his own lyrics, I have.  (The other two tunes of which I wrote for him became ’Reflect’ and “No Time To Waste’).  I decided to finally do this because it has had so many listens that I thought it deserves some lyrics to make it more interesting.  Admittedly, when I sing the lyrics, it may not gain as many listens, but I’m gonna do it anyway.   The tune was ‘Love Makes Me Sick’ and written for a story called Amy Peppercorn.  The instrumental version title will now be changed to the above with ‘(Music Only)’ after it.   So, now it’s time to put the music and lyrics together and see if I can sing it in tune…  I will try and complete it by tonight.

I’ve have just segregated the my newest songs into monthly collections, eg.  2017 – December,  2018 – January, 2018 – February.  At the end of the year I’ll see which month was the best in terms of listens and likes.   I am constantly improving the songs after the initial upload so, if you did happen to listen to any of the songs and weren’t too keen on them, there is a chance that you may like them now they have been remixed or vocally improved.  Thanks to anyone who does spend a bit of there time listening to my songs and/or reading my lyrics.

Hello readers,

I was totally new to this blogging world until I created this website, but it was something I had to do in order to let the world know that I exist and to show I am being productive.  Since I started blogging I have acquired more followers on FaceBook, Twitter and SoundCloud.  I am not promoting my songwriting at the moment, as my site is nowhere near complete yet (and my songs still need improving in order to gain any credibility).  Once I have uploaded every single set of lyrics, and the musical accompaniments, as well as maybe adding some pictures and video clips, I will then spread the word and try and gain more interest.  Meanwhile though, whether anybody wants to know about me and my life or not, I will probably write the blogs in a diary like fashion and will update everyone on how my songwriting and music is progressing.  Let me know what you think and feel free to ask me anything about my songwriting.   Thanks.

This is the second set of lyrics I have written this year.  This was written over the last few days in short bursts of free time.  This is currently in a ‘rap poetry’ format.  There maybe slight changes if, and when, music is added.

TALES OF THE UNEXPECTED
You maybe on track, then you may be derailed
You think you’ve passed, but discovered you’ve failed
You maybe married, but in time divorce
You feel at ease, but then you’re forced
Into the unexpected
You feel loved but then neglected
On a winning streak, but then rejected

And then you question what the heck’s going on
In life? Divorced with no wife
Everything you do makes you think twice
Now never knowing what lies ahead
You feel healthy, but you could soon be dead…
Tomorrow, got to rise above the sorrow
Try not to wallow in what is and what is no more
Time to learn from the mistakes before
.

When all’s gone you’ve got to be strong
And after the demise, rise
Above pessimism and depression
Learn and lead towards progression
That’s the endeavour – easier said than done, but
Whatever may happen, but you never know
Try your best and see what shows
Life is a game and for winning we aim…

For contention is key and never greed
Instead of trapped we need to be freed
Gain inclination and slowly progress
Into a life of happiness.

Hello to all readers.

I thank you to anyone who is reading this post.  This message is directed mainly at music promotion companies who have been  offering to promote.  If it’s genuine I do thank you, but in many cases it does seem to be just routine business links that are sent to anyone who appears on a music website.  At this point in time, and up until July, I am just building this website.  I am not a performing artist and therefore most of the promotional services offered are not relevant to me, unless you can throw me a whole band of session musicians as well as finance my progression.

If you like what I write and record then contact me on a songwriting level for now, and put a ‘like’ against any songs which you do like and follow me on SoundCloud, Twitter, FaceBook or on this website (www.the-lost-connection.com).  One day I would like to collaborate with other musicians and writers, and, ultimately, be a part of the music production industry.  Admittedly, I would like to release some of my songs when I feel they are good enough, but only for myself, primarily.  This is a hobby that I like to share with whoever likes it, but I am not chasing any level of success at this point in time.

So, as a conclusive ending to this ‘post’, if you want to promote me then realise what I have said above and, meanwhile, I will continue to build this website until it is complete.  This may involve adding pictures and video clips to ‘tart it up’ a bit and make it a bit more visually interesting.  This is a commercial element which I do not like getting involved in and may have to turn to certain friends who do specialise in photography and website designing for a living.

Thank you.

Colin                                                                                                                                                                        (The Lost Connection)
